Isi artikel

After presenting an overview of content-area ESL and English for specific purposes (ESP), this article describes an experimental course in communication offered to nonnative English-speaking pharmacy students at the University of Maryland and reports the results of an evaluation of the course. A combination of content- area ESL and ESP, the course, which met weekly for one semester, was team-taught by a pharmacist specializing in communication for pharmacists and an ESL specialist. Speech functions deemed necessary for effective oral communication by pharmacists in their professional settings were used as an organizing principle for the syllabus, which also provided for instruction in relevant linguistic structures, for instruction in communication principles and techniques, and for much active student participation. Although better evaluation measures are needed, student evaluations and comparison of the results on pre- and posttests of the Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit (Educational Testing Service, 1982a) suggest that the course was effective.
